Okay very good, before we start our class

today please arrange your chairs and pick up (Students will pick up pieces of trash around and
the pieces of trash. arrange their chairs)

B. Motivation
 Before we proceed to our main topic, let’s try to (students will listen to the instructions)
find the different words which are associated
with the properties of well-written text
(students will go in front to encircle the words to
be found)
As a class try to find the words that will be
given to you.
Use this marker to encircle the words

Every student finds a word that has a prize

C. Presentation
From the activity “Word Hunt” what have you
noticed about the words you had encircled?

Again let’s look at the encircled words

 Sir, the encircled words are examples or set rules
in writing.

Exactly! The words that have been encircled are

rules or procedures.

You probably notice that there’s a word

“Writing” and “Mechanics” right?

Now let’s proceed to our discussion about the Yes Sir!

mechanics, features, and rules in technical
writing.
D. Discussion
What comes to your mind when you hear the
word Mechanics? Sir Mechanics refers to the rules of the written
language, such as capitalization, punctuation and
Very Good! spelling, and abbreviation.

Also, mechanics is an understanding of both

grammar and mechanics required to
communicate your ideas in a paper.

It says there that it is an understanding of both

grammar and mechanics right?
So what components of language refer to
grammar?
Sir Syntax
Exactly! Syntax refers to grammar

What about the word Writing?

In your understanding what do we mean by
writing?
Sir Writing is one of the easiest ways of showing
 your ideas to the world.
Sir Writing It also provides you with the self-
assurance of bringing your thoughts into reality.
Exactly!
From our activity the “Word Hunt” a while ago are the
words that are encircled familiar to you? Yes Sir!

Now let’s dig deeper into why these components of

mechanics are connected to writing

In writing why is Capitalization important?

Sir it’s because Capitalization highlights all the
vital details in a sentence. Be it a place or people,
we’ve to capitalize them to notify the reader that
Precisely! we’re mentioning something important.

So what happens if the capitalized words are

wrong? Sir improper capitalization might not affect the
meaning behind the word, but it can misalign the
text.
Very good!

When the words that are needed to be

capitalized it gives a separate identity to every
written paragraph and allows a smooth flow.

Now before we proceed to the rules of

capitalization I will choose five (5) students to
give a sample sentence about capitalization

So do you still remember the rules of

capitalization? Here are some
capitalization rules:

Jhana Rose kindly read the first rule in

capitalization.
That’s very basic, isn’t it? Always capitalize the first word in a sentence.
Yes Sir!
Bryneal read the next rule in capitalization.
Capitalize proper nouns and adjectives.
Okay, thank you! Except from the example Example: The Davao Crocodile Park is a
given can anyone give their examples on rule must see destination in Davao City
number two (2)

That’s a good example well done! We all know that Claveria is the Coastal Paradise
of the North.
For the third rule can I have Neoh read it for
us
 Capitalize the pronoun “I” and the interjection.
Example: Oh God, I always thank you
everyday.
The next rule I want Kathleen to read this
time
Capitalized professional titles when used before
a personal names such as Engineer, General,
Except from the examples shown can you Colonel
give more examples?
Chief, Manager, Director
That’s right! Very good!

Nica kindly read the next rule shown

Capitalize academic titles and their
abbreviations such as, Robert Angel Mecurion
From the example given kindly give one Ph.D
example of an academic title.
Sir MAEd stands for Master of Arts in Education
You are right!

This next rule is quite easy and I want Prince

to read. Capitalize brand names such as:
Realme, Honda, Stiga, Butterfly and etc.
In your understanding can you give more
examples of brand names? Sir Acer, Gucci, Tesla

Very good!

Michael kindly read the next rule in

capitalization. Capitalize the first word in a letter’s greeting
or close.
Okay very good! I might say you’re familiar Example: Dear Ma’am, Sincerely yours,
with this rule if you already constructed a
letter

Can I have Baby Jane read the last rule in Capitalize the days of the week, months of the
capitalization year, and holidays
Example: Classes will start on October
I always receive a gift every
Christmas
Okay very good! We all know the months,
days, and weeks of the year right? Yes Sir!

But can you give more examples of holidays Sir New Year, Independence Day, Labor Day
All of those answers of yours are right!

We are done with the first mechanic of a well-

written text which is capitalization, now what Sir Punctuation
is the second component of a well-written
text?

Sir using correct punctuation/s allows you to

 convey your ideas to the readers.
Why do we use punctuation in technical Sir Punctuation as a writing mechanics also
writing? brings comprehension to a report. Punctuation
clarifies sentence structure by separating some
Okay very good! Any other answer? texts and grouping others.

Right!
Sir commas, semicolons, colon
So there are lots of punctuation examples can
you mention?

Well said!
Yes Sir!
Whenever you write, do you follow the rules
as to punctuation?

So what are these rules in punctuation? Sir it is a punctuation mark that indicates a pause
Let’s start with “Comma” between parts of a sentence.
Before we proceed to the rules who can give
me the definition of a comma?

That’s correct!
Now let’s take a look at the rules on how to
use comma Use comma to separate items in a series. A
series is made up of three or more noun, verbs,
Althea May kindly read the first rule of modifiers, or phrases
comma Example: Oral communication, EAPP,
Reading and writing, and 21st Century
Literature are core subjects in HUMMS
strand

Sir the series are: Oral communication, EAPP,

Reading and writing, and 21st Century Literature

Based on the example shown what are the

given series mentioned in the sentence?
Use comma after introductory clauses, phrases,
Exactly! or words that comes before the main clause.
Example: While I was waiting for the
Angel Clarisse kindly read the second rule rain to subside, suddenly there was a
bold of lightning split the sky.

Sir it is the first sentence before the comma

What do you think is the introductory clause

in the shown example?
That’s right very good! Sir it is to indicate pause typically between two
main clauses.

The next one is a semicolon, what is a

semicolon?
Use semicolon when you link two independent
Very good! Now let’s be more familiar with clauses with no connecting words.
the rules of using semicolons. Example: I am excited to go home; I
 wanted to stay there for good.
Carl James kindly read the first rule of using
a semicolon.

To be more familiar with the independent

clause take note of this it is a clause that can
stand by itself as a simple sentence.
Use a semicolon when joining two independent
Thank you Carl James for reading the first
rule. clauses together with one of the following
conjunctive adverbs.
Okay next I want Czyrel to read the second Example: I am excited to go home;
rule about using semicolons. moreover, I wanted to stay there for
good.

Sir the word moreover

From the given example what word is used as

a conjunctive adverb?

Very good! Sir a colon gives emphasis, present dialogue, use

to introduce lists or text, and to clarify
composition titles.
The last one is the colon, what is the use of
the colon?

You got it right!

Use a colon for separating chapter from bible

There are also two rules in using a colon verses
Example: My favorite verse in the bible
Can I request Jerome to read the first rule in is John 3:16
using a colon Sir Jerimiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you; declares the
Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you a hope and a future.”
What is your favorite bible verse?
Can you please share with us what’s with that
bible verse

Thank you Jerome for that wonderful bible

verse you shared may God bless us all. Use a colon to introduce a formal list
Example: Three things I love the most:
Okay let's proceed to the second rule of using playing table tennis, riding a bike, and
a colon John Lior kindly read reading a book
My hobbies are: reading books, writing poems,
and playing basketball
From the rule, you have read-create an
example

That’s nice very good!

You might be wondering if Abbreviations and
acronyms are almost the same. Sir Abbreviation is to lessen an existing word.

But what do you think when you hear the

word abbreviation?

Very good!
Sir because writing words in abbreviated form
helps us to save space and to avoid distracting the
readers.
So why do we use abbreviations in our
academic writing?

You’re right! Yes Sir!

Do you know that there are also rules for Only abbreviate well known terms such as
abbreviations? T.V for television, CP for cellphone
So what are these rules?
Sir LP for lesson plan, HUMMS for Humanities
First rule John Erick kindly read and Social Sciences

Can you give more examples of abbreviated

well-known terms just like in the example
shown Abbreviation that uses capital letters are called
initialisms. It is required to put period after
Okay very good! each letter for example Ph. D, M.D, M.S,

Next Keyndrew kindly read the second rule

In formal writing is recommended not to
abbreviate the dates only if it is needed
Thank you Keyndrew especially when used in tables or charts
examples are: Mon., Fri., Dec., Aug.
Let’s move on to the third rule of abbreviation
Divine kindly read
Yes Sir!

Very good! I think you’re already familiar Latin abbreviations should not be capitalized
with the abbreviated forms of the months of Example: e.g. - means “for example”
the year and also with the week right? i.e - means “that is”, “in other
words”
Now let’s take a look at the last rule of Sir vs. for versus, etc. for and so forth
abbreviation and I want Genevie to read it.

Can you give more examples?

Acronyms are a kind of abbreviation that is
Very good! formed from the first letters (letters or syllables)
of a word or phrase. An example for this is NASA
Now here comes the word Acronym in your stands in for the National Aeronautics and Space
understanding what do we mean by an Administration.
acronym?
 Sir KFC for Kentucky Fried Chicken, PAGASA
for Philippine Atmospheric, and Astronomical
Services Administration

Exactly! Aside from the example of NASA

what else?

Very good! Your answers are all correct Yes Sir!

When you spell out the acronym the words

Sir improper spellings removes credibility and
must be correctly spelled isn’t it class?
damage your reputation as a writer. No reader
wants to read wrong spellings within the content,
In academic writing why do we need to spell not selective
the words correctly?

Sir L O G O R R H O E A
Great Answer!

Try to spell this word Logorrhoea Sir C A TA L Y S T

Very good!

Next is Catalyst
That is correct!

Misspelled words might happen

sometimes, but as long as you provide a
flawless piece of content with spelling
errors, they’ll stick to it. None sir

None sir
